IoT based Unmanned Aerial Vehicle system for Agriculture applications

In India, agriculture plays a pivotal role and provides a principal means of livelihood. Pesticides save the crop from pests and improve the yield. At present pesticides and fertilizers are sprayed manually, which affect the human nervous system and causes many deaths every year. WHO declared there are more than one million pesticide cases present every year. This paper explains about remote controlled drone based sprayer system used in precision agriculture which avoids the direct spraying by humans. This system has advantage of reducing labor workers, spraying time and resources like water and chemicals over conventional spraying methods and also can improve yield and crop health.
